Why was the MattyB Video Shoot so Chaotic? //Uncovered S3E11

[@jquinones111999]

I find it funny that Abby’s always saying “don’t mess up my reputation” or “you ruined your reputation” to the girls when she pulls stuff like this. She really thought pulling the girls over a situation that could’ve been avoided if she had done the simplest part of her job was professional? Not only does that make HER look bad but also the girls who left and any future clients she may represent

My admiration to Aubrey O’Day for not bowing to Abby and stopping work with Nia! Can you imagine Abby offered her $10,000 to quit working with Nia? I once had a toxic boss like this who did this sort of thing behind my back (telling clients not to sign contracts with me) - and as an adult I was traumatized by it for quite awhile. I can’t imagine how hard it would have been for Nia and Holly to continue to work with Abby after that. I guess the only good point was that Production was pro-Nia getting the music video - so as long as they were loyal to the production company there wasn’t a lot Abby could do to get rid of Nia. This makes Abby look SO BAD!

How did the camera not pick up what Abby said when we know that the mics used to be so high they could hear their heartbeats?

I thought the same thing. It could possibly be the producers covering for Abby because it is so horrible, just like how they changed the audio when she disgustingly made fun of chloe’s eye condition. Yet, no one seems to react to it… so I’m not sure that follows logically. Or maybe the producers just made it up in the notes for extra drama or misheard her. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I distinctly remember (I think at this audition) one of the auditioners making a comment about Kalani looking very "pinup", and being super grossed out by it. Now hearing that one of them was arrested for inappropriate conduct with minors, I wonder if it was the same person.... Disgusting... It's always why I always hated things like Abby advising girls to say "yes" to whatever a producer/auditioner/etc. asked them and that one mom at the Atlanta audition who said her daughter would dance for Abby in her underwear. All I could think was, "One day, they are going to say that bull to the WRONG person..."

Marilyn Monroe was a pinup before she got famous. So were Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Eartha Kitt... Bettie Page is also a very famous one. The Matty B video was set in a 1950s diner, and they were going for the 1950s pinup look. That's probably why the guy mentioned Kalani having the pinup look.

[@Icelynsinging]

Abby did finally get “cancelled” in 2020 with the BLM movement be coming mainstream and all the BIPOC dancers came forward about Abby’s racist treatment. Lifetime stopped production of another Abby-centered show and essentially cancelled all ties with her. I don’t think Abby ever apologized though which is just gross.

[@mj_mj_mj]

I completely agree!! In clips of dance moms you can rly see it. Like the episode where she told Nia repeatedly to “fix her hair” as it was in corncrows. Holly kept saying that she’d got permission for it, that it wasn’t in her face and that it was an important part of her heritage. Also she told another girl on the show that her feet were weird etc because of the colour of them. It’s so appalling and completely disgusting that she was able to get away with it. Even today I don’t think she’s ever apologised or even talked about it in a interview.

If chloe gets a role in a movie and abbie dont earn money from it she gets mad, if nia get a music contract without abbie it is the same. and i believe those two moms will never hide money for abbie. it not becouse holly is black it is becouse she has brain (unlike Jill) and morals (unlike mellisa)

I mean, insisting that the girls should be paid for their work on a professional shoot is kind of a good thing? Artists not getting paid for their work is awful, especially considering that the girls were a huge get for Matty B and remain well known to this day so I'm actually with Abby on that, even if she was doing it for her cut.

[@CursedBeauty]

While I agree that artists not getting paid is a huge issue that needs to be tackled, the whole job was set up by the show, you know? We don’t know what it took for them to agree or what contracts the producers may have signed with MattyB’s team :)

[@MsJubjubbird]

I kinda agree. Showbiz is filled with young girls desperate for a break who do work, often in rather poor conditions, only to receive no money or less than promised at the end and end up not being able to make rent or having to do unwholesone things to do so because they were just too desperate and didn't insist on money. Plus, while Abby might be receiving money from their dance tuition and the show, a real agent might be relying on the girls getting paid to be able to pay their mortgage and therefore might not be so understanding.

[@susangarcia2506]

@Maeghan McKenzie l totally agree with you on that, they should have been happy to pay the girls to be in the video. Why should "America's Sweethearts" work for them for free?

[@corimoon3360]

I do agree and it is awful to do that to the girls, but at the same time it’s still a fun opportunity to get them more exposure and that’s what the girls wanted. So while I get that they should’ve been paid. I also understand why the mom who chose to stay did so…

[@Blue2950]

I know Abby despised Nia and Holly from the beginning (among other cast), but I am shocked she offered $10k to keep Nia out of a video? That is very disappointing to hear and a new low for Abby. This is a grown woman who ‘makes stars’ and has known Nia since a child, spends 4.5 years filming DM and watched her grow up. Yet actively attempts to cut opportunities from Nia. She is messed up.

The idea that at that point in the show with them making so much money they wanted major artists to just “donate” their music???

[@MsJubjubbird]

Along with Kenzie's music contract, little known fact is Kendall, Maddie and Mackenzie were signed to the same talent agent at the time. It was before the Zieglers were big enough to sign up to WME. It was called Stars or something and it was based in LA- I remember seeing the website and of course Jill was featured in Kendall's profile - Jeez I can't possibly imagine why Kendall got no jobs out of it? Abby was 'manager' for the TV show, which is why Maddie and Mackenzie got their jobs externally. When you are signed up with a talent agent you are usually not allowed to do unsolicited work because then your agent doesn't get paid, which is reasonable because agents need to eat too. But having the girls quietly sit out and discussing the fine print of legal contracts doesn't exactly fit the style of the show. Plus they probably tried to see how flexible all the contracts were for such an opportunity.

[@strawberrylime33]

Love your videos!! Something I'd love to know is whether or not Abby really had "blacklisted" several dancers in the dance world for disagreeing or refusing to work with her or sign her contracts. It's a recurring topic on the show.

[@chasityslocum4032]

She has blacklisted Chloe and Diane's kids(Brittney and Brandon). She probably blacklisted Nia and the Hylands but I'm not sure :/.

[@akpapaya]

please please please uncover the fight kira and abby had in season five that got kira to pull kalani from the team!! i want to know what was said to make kira explode

[@sofff2456]

How could they possibly think Tarantino would be interested 😭

[@jessicajames6958]

Can’t wait for the next upload! ✨

[@fuunygurl10]

Omg some of the people they reached out to to work with these CHILDREN. Quentin Tarantino?!? Blumhouse?!? THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY?!?!? 😱😱😱

[@spsull]

Makes me wonder if the Elastic Heart video with Shia LaBeouf was possibly set up by Abby as revenge for the other girls staying in the MattyB video in an effort to create jealousy. If so, that backfired badly.

[@KHENEDITV]

This is just a theory but I’m sure the producers probably wanted Maddie to be the lead in that video but she wasn’t there at first so they chose McKenzie instead so when Maddie showed up on set they were probably like wtf

[@johnsmi213]

Not really. The notes say the producers reached out to "guest stars" and Matty B agreed for the publicity so I doubt they had any expectations. Also Mackenzie is favored because she's tiny like Matty. Maddie would have been too tall/old. I think they were hoping for a cameo but she couldn't do that. And thank God, Maddie was a legit star at that point and shouldn't do something crappy like this.

[@Bea.2401]

As always, this video contains so much research! That's really remarkable!

[@srithadirisala290]

Should this be an Netflix show? 👇 👇

[@kannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

0:56 it says the Gay Men’s Chorus reached out to work with ALDC and then in season 5-6 Jeanette uses them for a song during i think the dance Q (sorry if this isn’t the dance) but I know she definitely had them do live music to one of her dances

[@_Doush_]

The ‘Q’ dance was performed by the ALDC, and was choreographed by Laurieann Gibson (Season 6/7)

[@kannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

@@_Doush_ oh ok but she did use them live, right?

[@danceaudioswapsaldc8116]

Abby really thinks ppl wanted to come to her for her dance teaching….No. people weren’t that interested until she was in dance moms. Christi L was beyond correct that the OG cast put her on the map.

[@itsluluandakko4003]

EARLY! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! idk if u have done this before, but could u do a vid on why holly and nia were distant for the other mothers? Thanksss

[@harunananana6372]

I absolutely love these videos bc they arent boring. I like to look at instead of just listening they have alot of fscyd and proof and always trustworthy and u also show the proof!! I wish you'd make them on other stuff like some trending stuff

[@magnoliaroses0]

Anyone else think it’s absolutely hilarious that Tarantino was listed and that he wasn’t even interested lmao

[@carliejane1838]

0:59… the Weinstein company… as in Harvey Weinstein? 🤮

[@leasiacherise]

Just looked at the list of companies they were looking to partner with and I'm disgusted that the producers wanted to work with the W*instein company 🤢

[@chaywv]

This should be on national tv “dance moms…. UNCOVERED”

[@annac777]

Reading the scans of the people that reached out...HOW DO YOU JUST "Pass" QUENTIN TARANTINO?!?!

[@missykoval3950]

I LOVE your series!!!

You always do such a fine job with the research, and your voice is incredibly soothing!! I'm a big fan of your work. Keep it up!! 💯

[@acrogirls6917]

Probably my new favorite episode!!

[@charlieedwards4331]

I’ve been waiting for you to do a video on this

[@Is4b3ll3igh]

Janelle Monet : Not interested hahahahahha

[@alexanderhoekema6987]

It says in the production notes they tired to contact Quentin Tarantino loolll can you imagine him on the show?😭😭😭

[@snoeleopard0]

really good video !!!

[@TheSheffeilds]

Can you do an episode about the Joffrey audition & the Broadway talent agent in season one?

[@stephanie7431]

Could you do a video on all the ped0s who have worked with the girls? It would be a good awareness video. Ped0s working in the dance industry isn’t talked about enough

[@blooop9693]

So many people associated with DM have been arrested for inappropriate behavior. First the guy who choreographed Broadway blondes, then Kevin (the guy who took Brooke on a date), then this guy. It's very disturbing. I wonder how many more there are that just haven't been caught yet (both from Dance Moms, and in the dance world overall).

[@kat7077]

*Kevin. Sorry just didn't want someone to get unfairly maligned
